  1. It would be a sensation Thomas, you're quite right there.

    And if you and your mates pull it off, fair play to you. We will be there with you for coverage of the second legs next week. Join us?

  2. 'It would be a sensation'

    Bayern forward Thomas Muller: "In the second half I had the feeling that we controlled the game better. It is not easy to play here, but I did not feel that we could lose 3-0. But we are Bayern, we keep our head up

    "The fact that it now runs as it did against Porto, it is not expected, but we will do everything again on Tuesday. But it would be a sensation if we came into the final and we will do everything we can in Munich."

  3. Messi is world's best - Suarez

    Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has tweeted:"Vamossss !! What good win and hard work of the whole team !!!! I leave a picture with the best in the world !!!!"

  4. Bayern Munich need to score three times next week. They failed to fire in a single shot on target in a Champions League game tonight for the first time since Oct 2009 (vs Bordeaux).

  5. I'm absolutely, comprehensively, definitely not going to reopen the 'Messi v Ronaldo debate'. But I will say that we may have a final chapter in the saga if it's an El Clasico final on 6 June...

  6. 'We must believe'

    Manuel Neuer, Bayern goalkeeper: "We saw against Porto that always something is possible, but we're now playing against another team. We have seen today that we did not get many chances, but say never never. We must try to believe."

  7. 'We were sensational'

    Gerard Pique, Barcelona defender: "I think we played a sensational game. We were very good defensively. Bayern barely had a shot at goal in the 90 minutes.

    "We made the most of their weak points. We are accustomed to not having the ball and we weren't uncomfortable without it."

  8. THE RESULTS ARE IN

    Someone give Pep Guardiola a knock in the away dressing room. I've got some crumbs of comfort as his Barca side of 2008-12 was voted the best team of the last 20 years by you lot tonight.

    You voted in your masses. Massive numbers. Wonderful stuff.

    Barca won 51.6% of the vote, ahead of Manchester United's treble-winning side of 1999.

    Thomas Broadley: Bayern Munich played well tonight but have been taken apart by the greatest footballer ever to grace the planet. Amazing game.

    Avigar: Lionel Messi = the best player to have ever played! He is simply outstanding. Sorry CR7 you are living in the wrong decade.

  10. The Nou Camp is empty, all bar a small section of fans who are still making a right old din. What a night for the locals!

  11. Cometh the hour, cometh the man: Lionel Messi had nine touches in the last 15 minutes of play, including two goals and an assist. Deadly.

  12. 'We have Messi, we have the advantage'

    Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano: "We have Messi so advantage for us no? It was a very tight game but we had the best chances to score.

    "We played the game that we wanted to play, we are very happy. We know it will be difficult in Germany, it is a good advantage but it is not done. We must go with the same mentality.

    "When you press high you take risks and we have a lot of people who can punish you. Messi is a player who it is impossible to describe."

  14. Are we feeling sorry for Jerome Boateng yet? (Out of shot, on his backside, blood twisted...)

  15. Possession isn't everything

    Opta stat: "Barcelona had less than 50% possession in the Champions League for the first time since December 2006 against Werder Bremen, 96 games ago.

  16. Rakitic is unsung hero

    "Ivan Rakitic was excellent, he doesn't half work hard. He is very much an unsung hero, he passes the ball well, gets into tackles and good positions. He is a good foil for Dani Alves. He is an all-round footballer and looks tailor-made for this Barcelona team."

  17. MESSI IN NUMBERS

  19. Neil Lennon
    Former Celtic manager on BBC Radio 5 live

    "It was sheer class that won the game, it is what separates the great players from the good players. That one moment of brilliance from Messi is what changed the game."

  20. Any hope for Bayern?

    Bayern Munich fans will recall that they beat Barcelona 4-0 at home two years ago.

    And in the last round they lost the first leg 3-1 in Porto before putting six past the Portuguese in the second leg.

    Never say never. Never back against the Germans...
